Bridge Constructor – awesome bridge building puzzle game!

Bridge Constructor puts you on the island nation of Camatuga, they’ve suffered from massive earthquakes and it’s your job to rebuild the bridges. You must connect the canals using various building materials, get vehicles safely across, but restricted by your budget. Check out this brain teaser in this full review!

Pros & Cons:

Your progress is not carried into the paid version when you upgrade from the free version.

Some of the touch controls are a bit unresponsive, often you have to undo/redo a few placements because of this but it’s not a great deal.

Features:

Bridge Constructor sparks up your creative and engineering juices as you must rebuild the nation’s bridges using various materials; wood, steel, cables, and concrete pillars. You get a set budget to purchase these materials, this is your only limitation.

There are five scenes to choose from: City, Canyon, Beach, Mountains, and Hills. These are presented in beautiful 3D, in which you can pinch to zoom in/out and pan around to get a better view of things.

Your building materials have their strengths and weaknesses; such as wood has a moderate cost but not as strong and does not extend as far, steel is very strong but expense, cables extend very far, are cheaper but not as strong, and concrete pillars are strong but can only be used in certain locations. As you build successful trusses, you have to not only ensure it is strong enough, but not weigh too much as it lends to stress on the bridge. The game features a useful stress meter, the red spots represent the weaker areas, and there is a simulation tool that will show you. To complete the level after your build, you can tap the “cars” icon and if they safely make it across you get a tally of your points. However, you should want to secure a bridge whereas it supports the weight of the “trucks” to earn bonus points. The game is integrated with Openfeint and there are many achievements to unlock.

Fun Factor & Addictive:

Bridge Constructor is more addictive than it is fun. If you’re into structure building and creative problem solving games, you’ll love this one. It truly challenges your noodle to think of how to build the strongest bridge that can support the weight. It really pushes you to want to come back level after level, especially when you feast on some of the feats that can be built.

Graphics:

The game is rendered in beautifully detailed 3D environments that you can pan and zoom around in. You’ll notice the transparent grid is meant to assist you when you need to determine the heights of some of your structures.

Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:

The game features a nice background tune, but something I choose to mute, this can be toggled at the main menu.

(4.4 out of 5)

Should you Download Bridge Constructor? Yes! It is a very challenging structural puzzler especially enjoyable for the methodical minds. I would even encourage to skip the freebie version (or do a short evaluation) and go straight into the paid version as unfortunately your game progress is not carried over to the paid version!
